Otima 10, Dow LBV 2006, Bin 23 are the only non Kirkland ports available at my closest Costco.

What? Where??? I check the wine dept at the Issaquah Costco every time I'm there and I've never seen the Portal 20-yr old there. Am I just blind?

And here I thought Quinta do Poral was a new Port [1974_eating_popcorn.gif]

All we ever get in Everett is Bin 27 and Otima 10 - blech.

I did enjoy the Kirkland/Fonseca 10 year, but that has already disappeared.

I probably should've bought a case considering it's price, but too late now.

All i get is the Bin 27, and from time to time the Kirkland 10 year. :(

I saw Graham's 20 year offered at $30 today at Costco. I saw some bottled in 2009 and some bottled in 2011, pulling up a few randomly.

I hope you bought. That's a great price for any 20 Year Old Tawny!

I had this before and I was relatively indifferent about it. I just mention it because there might be others who like it better. Also, I wonder if this deal is a sign of things to come in the overall market.

Costco has been lean on port around Boston for a while. Dow LBV 2006 I think for around $13 is the only thing of interest.

Considering it's the price of most 10 year old tawny's it's a pretty good deal. And IMO I would rather have this than some 10 year olds for around the same price. But obviously everyone has different likes and dislikes so YMMV.

I saw a couple of bottles of 2009 Taylor VP under lock and key, with no price tag. I did not inquire further as to the price, as that could have taken a good 10 minutes, and I don't think my wife was interested in waiting for that. Anybody see this at their local Costco, with a price tag?
